Course registration for students entering a Level I program in the Faculty of Science in September 2012 will open on WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27th, 2012 (12:01 a.m.).

All students are required to watch our interactive, on-line S.T.A.R.T. presentation, which is an academic tutorial designed to provide you with important information about the university, course selection, registration procedures and use of the SOLAR (Student On-Line Academic Registration) system.

By watching the S.T.A.R.T. presentation and reading through How to Select Your Courses & Prepare for Registration, you should be able to successfully register.

If, after reviewing the video and website information, you feel that you require additionial assistance you may wish to attend one of our on-campus registration workshops (optional) in BURKE SCIENCE BUILDING (BSB) on:

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27th - BSB 241 from 9:00am-7:00pm,  BSB 244 from 9:00am-5:00pm

THURSDAY, JUNE 28th - BSB 241 from 1:00pm-7:00pm,  BSB 244 from 1:00pm-5:00pm

During our on-campus registration workshops, we will meet you in one of the Burke Science building computer labs where you will be able to go online and complete/review your registration with the help of an academic advisor.

Normally, an on-campus registration workshop is approximately one hour in length. Due to space limitations in the computer labs, we may not be able to accommodate parents and guests in the labs. Parents and guests are encouraged to explore the campus and possibly attend a workshop offered by the Student Success Centre during the registration session. More information for parents can be found at http://studentaffairs.mcmaster.ca/parents/.

Students registering in Environmental & Earth Sciences I, Life Sciences I, Mathematics & Statistics I, & Physical Sciences I:

To get the most out of your on campus workshop, you are encouraged to review the ‘Level I Program Requirements for September 2012 Admission & Level II Program Options & Admission Requirements for September 2013'   guide. Also, remember to check the FALL/WINTER TIMETABLE to make sure the courses you want to take are not offered at the exact same time.

Honours Kinesiology I, Honours Integrated Science I and Medical Radiation Sciences I students are also encouraged to review their required courses in the FACULTY OF SCIENCE LEVEL I PROGRAMS section of the Undergraduate Calendar, pages 114-115. Remember to check the FALL/WINTER TIMETABLE to make sure the electives you choose are not in conflict with your required courses.

Additionally, it is a good idea to create a ‘MOCK' TIMETABLE by using the timetable worksheet found HERE .
